Cybertech T-RON guitar inspired by TRON

 
  The love for making custom guitars will never die. This Cybertech T-RON, a guitar inspired by Disney’s 1982 Sci Fi fiction classic TRON was built by James Hutchinson. The T-RON guitar is all draped in cool blue color scheme courtesy the uber futuristic looking light pipe inlays across the whole body. This guitar is defined by the pair of Gibson humbuckers giving a very iconic analog element that is transformed by recessed XY Midipad. This very XY Midipad and the onboard Ghost MIDI interface system produce a melodious and crystal clear array of tones that you always want in a quality guitar.

  The custom made through-body string retainer in solid brass, assuring steady tuning and plentiful sustain all complement each other well in the guitar make. Moreover, the gloss paintwork on the front and back, worn by hand give it a very smooth textured look for high class performance and showing the elements in perfect lighting conditions. 

  You can also get this Cybertech T-RON guitar by Hutchinson Guitar Concepts for around £4000 or about $6300 at their homesite, so if you have got the moolah then this is one awesome guitar you need for your elusive collection.







  ~My personal take on this guitar is that it's a great concept guitar and executed fairly well but I would like to have seen some kind of TRON design up and down the fret board. I think if they had added something like that it would have made this piece exceptional, especially since it has such a high price tag and the fact that this was created about two years ago maybe by now they have made better tweaks in design.

Riffstaion


I wish I had the full version of this. If you play guitar this is majorly sweet. Play any song through this software and it tracks the rhythm, lead and gives you all the chords and notes. Allows you to jam with your favorite songs at any speed.

It lets you find the guitar in the mix, and extract it right out so you can hear it in isolation. You can then slow it down in perfect pitch to learn it easier. 

With the pitch tool you can transpose by up to 12 semi-tones up or down in semi-tone increments without affecting tempo, and yes, you can change that too.



 

Learn the songs you love. Practice at any speed. Develop your technique. Jam with your favorite bands.

Dark Star Orchestra at The Fillmore

Dso
 
 
Dark Star Orchestra (DSO) in their famous tribute to The Grateful Dead, playing live at The Fillmore in San Francisco. The Fillmore is legendary in The Grateful Dead canon as one of their de facto club in the early part of their career and featured in their live album "Live/Dead" and the more recently released "Fillmore West 1969."
The basic idea behind DSO is that they pick a particular concert from the 30 year career of The Dead and recreate in its entirety capturing the tone and pace of an on original concert from a bygone era. Sometimes it's an early '70s show and other times it's a late '80s show and once in a while it's put together from various Dead side projects. At the end of the evening, DSO announces the setlist

Phil_Lesh_DSO_FillmoreSo how good are DSO? Good enough that DSO's founding guitar player and vocalist John Kadlecik, now plays with Furthur, the latest incarnation of The Grateful Dead led by founding members Bob Weir and Phil Lesh. They're so good, current and former members of The Grateful Dead have on occasion played with DSO. And in fact, Phil Lesh joined DSO on stage for the entire first set.
Check out the videos on Youtube. And be sure to checkout DSO on the rest of their tour as they make their way east across the country.
